2023-24 Basketball Schedule

I know I say this every year, but it's time for Coach Mac to put his "friend hat" back on and schedule an home and home with the Panthers.

I know he and Jake are friends, and they don't want to compete against each other, but they need to get over that for one night a year.

This has always been puzzling to me. It seems obvious to help each other out.

It does to us but Creighton has absolutely no reason or incentive to do it.

Every coach that leaves our level for the P5 immediately forgets where they came from.

True, but you'd think if there was one coach who would feel in debt to his friend and alma mater who he kinda screwed over, it would/should be Mac. But obviously not.

The game at USF will tip at 4:00 our time and be broadcast on ESPN+.

There are only about 30 schools that haven't released a non-conference schedule. A lot of these just haven't announced their non-DIs for the year but there are a few that might line up with the 1 we need to fill.

Home and Home
North Texas (2 open spots)
Tulsa

Sam Houston
TX A&M-Commerce
Tarleton State
UTRGV
UT-Arlington

Eastern Kentucky also has an opening and they could fall in either category with a lean towards a home and home.

Lindy's has Tulsa 10th in the AAC, UT Arlington 4th in the WAC, Tarleton 7th in the WAC, and UTRGV 10th in the WAC. I'd go home and home with Tulsa this season to equal 31 games. Tulsa is a rebuild all 5 starters transferred. They went 5-25 last season. Easy sweep.

North Texas wouldn't be a bad game. They've had some success lately, and I just now realized they moved to the AAC.

Should try for H-Hs. Assuming no or few transfers, the team should be very good next year. Even 2 for 1 deals with P5 schools would be great for us.

A P5 isn't coming here.

League TV schedule should be out next week but, kind of guessing with our schedule, here's what I see for TV games...

Wednesday Nov 29 Belmont
Sunday Jan 7 vs Indiana State
Sunday Jan 14 at Murray
Saturday Jan 27 at Drake
Wednesday Jan 31 at Bradley
Sunday Feb 11 at UIC (only Valley game that day/Super Bowl Sunday and the Valley traditionally has an early afternoon ESPN slot)
Sunday Feb 18 Bradley
Saturday Feb 24 Drake
Tuesday Feb 27 Valpo (only Valley game that day)

Final game of the year is always a possibility depending on what the standings look like. I've got us as the 3rd most important game that day after Bradley at Drake and Murray at Indiana State.

The valley just post the same 24 hours post they did before the schedule release so I'm guessing tv schedule will be out or start to come out tomorrow ( in the past they have released it over 3 days espn/cbssn/than mvc RSNs schedule). Also with are nonconfrece schedule (only 4 weeks away) we are now one of 8 to not have realesed or have a full 31 game schedule listed. The other 7 are North texas, eastern Kentucky, FIU, Maryland eastern shore, grand canyon,UT Rio GV, and Hawaii. I don't care who the other 2 games are at this point. Wartburg and uper iowa would be fine we just need to get game reps before going to usf/Atlantis.

Correction I'm guessing it's the women's schedule that's getting released tomorrow (realized they did not release women's when they did the mens). Still think tv might come this week though.

I'm guessing we'll see TV Wednesday-Friday.

Wednesday-ESPN
Thursday-CBS
Friday-Valley TV

Do you think Southern Illinois home game vs Oklahoma state or our women's game against Iowa gets selected for tv? I remember when we hosted Xavier that game was on cbssn.

I think that women's game has a chance to hit an ESPN network because they don't have regular access to Iowa anymore. I'd be surprised if that SIU-Okie Lite game isn't on ESPN+.
